Ronald was a great man. Once he saved a woman in the snow. He walked and walked and just kept on walking. His legs almost gave out from the fatigue of transporting two people. His lucky number was 44 and that's a number his family will never forget.

Elden was a great man, I will always remeber him. I spent many breaks and lunches with him and of course he had to tell me about working in the mines. He had such a great sence of humor. I don't know anyone here at Kimberly Clark that did not get along with him. He was a hard worker and very pleasent to work with. Any of the family please contact me any time to let me know how things are going he will be missed ! The world has lost a good man.

I worked with Elden at Kimberly-Clark for over 10 years. He was passionate in his work and strived to make the Ogden Plant the best it could possibly be. Elden was recognized in the Corporation for his knowledge and experience in high-voltage and electrical power. He always had a good story about his work experiences to illustrate a point. He will be missed.
